| dc.description.abstract | Conflicts in forest management result from fear among user groups that specific management practices will jeopardize their interests while ostensibly favoring others. This paper emphasizes improvement in understanding of various practices so that groups will not become alarmed unnecessarily over inconsequential matters and will participate in compromise management options that deliver optimum ratios of benefits to all parties. Examples are outlined to illustrate that spotted owls and timber production may be compatible on a given acre, that productive alternatives can be found to using repellents or shooting large numbers of game animals to safeguard forest regeneration, and that intelligent use of DDT or 2,4,5-T may well be ecologically the safest way to live with some forest pest problem. Public acceptance of forest practices needed for maintenance of resources exposed to constant pressure requires an educated public. I propose that information on conservation and resource management-and not tied to user interests-be promoted at all educational levels, beginning with elementary schools and extending to graduate schools and legislative bodies. | en_US |
